I get that a big car note is not always smart but not sure you’ve priced auto repair lately.

Rarely do you get out for less than $2000.

Driving a beater can be expensive too.

“Rarely” less than $2k? This is nonsense.

This is what people tell themselves to justify the new ride.

2005 Toyota Camry with 160,000 miles and nothing but oil changes, tires and brakes. I hope to get another four years out of it which shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a POS but sure beats the $800 and $900 car payments my co workers have.
